1987 Williams F-14 Tomcat Pinball Machine

F-14 Tomcat is a Williams game from 1987 built around naval aviation, and it plays fast. The theme is easy to pick up, and the 4 ball multiball gives you a big payoff to work toward once you get comfortable. It is a machine that fits just as well in a bar or arcade as it does in a home game room.

This example has had work done in all the right places. A new hardtop on the playfield gives the surface fresh protection and a crisp look where older playfields tend to show wear. The bumper cap now carries a new EVO LED light ring with a foil decal, so the center of the playfield catches your eye as soon as the game wakes up. New side art blade decals bring back the color on the cabinet, and NVRAM has been added to replace the old batteries. That last upgrade matters more than it sounds, because battery leakage is one of the most common ways a game from this era gets damaged, and removing the batteries takes that risk off the table.
